Plans submitted for new business park in Bridgwater

Roselea Properties Limited and C.M. Limited have applied to build an "employment development" comprised of three large buildings along with welfare facilities including associated parking, access, engineering, landscaping and drainage works.

The site would be located in land west of the A38 northbound (Bristol Road), right next to the River Parrett and directly opposite the Ibis Hotel just south of Dunball.

It's proposed that three industrial buildings will be constructed for the site, with footprints of 12,000, 10,000, and 6,000 square feet respectively.

Regarding the appearance of the site, the application states: "The proposed buildings will be clad in similar materials to the adjacent new buildings and will contain a robust brick plinth element approx. 2.35m high with flush insulated cladding panels above up to eaves level.

"The roofs will be shallow pitched profiled metal sheets approx. 6 degrees, and have rooflights to the warehouse spaces below.

"It is the intention to provide an array of PV roof panels to the east and west pitches of units 2 and 3 and to the southern pitch of unit 1.

"Aerial View from West Doors and windows to the double height feature entranceways will be constructed of aluminimum curtain walling with individual punched windows serving offices and the like in aluminium window systems."

There is already a "prospective user" allocated to take over unit 1, in which the internal layout has been designed to accomodate "2,000 square feet of support and office space with adjacent warehouse/storage space and a further 2,000 square feet of office space at first floor."

The site would be accessible from the new junction on the A38 Northbound (Bristol Road) which currently serves other nearby buildings to the proposed site.

Updates to the application can be viewed by searching for the application number 09/23/00012 on the Somerset Council website, and comments will remain open until November 11.
